Mayank Sharma
Having travelled across continents and associated with people with diverse beliefs and values, I became curious about the social riddles curtailing liberties across societies. India is the fifth-largest economy in the world with the Gross Domestic Product growth at 7.1 percent. Contrary, India ranks 118 out of 157 countries in the happiness index. The fact seized my attention towards social problems affecting social support, freedom of choices, and generosity, to name a few. In the total population of 1.3 billion, the millions of naïve women and girls, like my two protagonists agonize everyday due to a million-year-old social inequality that still persists in Indian society. I penned my debut novella, The Princess of a Whorehouse, when I came across some real life incidents that quivered my soul.
